Nene used to be a stud at FG% - close to the top of the league every year. This year, he's down to around 50%. I understand he's playing more at the 4 now. Is there anything about the position change that would hold down his %? If this seems like an odd question to ask, it is. I'm thinking of trading for him in Fantasy Basketball. Yes, this probably belongs in the FBB forum, but that appears to not be frequented often. If this is a problem for anyone, just let me know, and I won't start this kind of thread in this forum again. Thanks!
Give him 10 more games... One night he will go 11-13 and all will be right again. I am constantly amazed by how intelligent he is for a PF-C... His defense and his hands are just fantastic.
The first thing that comes to mind is he's probably shooting more jump shots. Sure enough, that's what the stats show: http://www.hoopdata.com/player.aspx?name=Nene Hilario He's taking twice as many shots from 10-23 feet, and his percentage on those 16-23 shots are down early in the season too.
Hey, that's good analysis! Y'all may become my secret weapon in Fantasy Bball! You guys play? I was very skeptical at first, but now I'm pretty into it. I was just a little nervous posting the topic in NBA Dish, as I thought some ClutchFans purists might sound the alarm...
